Gauthier was the top scorer for the BC Eagles last season, and the Flyers were unsure of his intentions until late March when he announced his decision. In the meantime, Gauthier has been playing exceptionally well at the IIHF World Hockey Championships, where he and his soon-to-be teammate have been dominating with great power-play goals.
Today, Gauthier has proved that he is not a flop or a terrible selection by having an outstanding performance, scoring 3 goals and providing 1 assist, resulting in a 4-point game.
